He said he was going to go back and take a nap\u2026 See, I don&#8217;t think he meant to kill himself, I think he had some bad heroin. Though I didn&#8217;t realise he was that much of a junkie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He pauses. &#8220;I knew Robin [Williams] pretty well and Robin knew he wanted out \u2013 he had Parkinson&#8217;s. The two guys were very similar in that they were both overwhelmed by their own thing. I know a lot of people who&#8217;ve died\u2026 who&#8217;ve taken their own lives,&#8221; he continues after a moment of quiet. &#8220;But you know Patti [Smith], who&#8217;s an old, old friend of mine, she wrote a review of the new Murakami book that appeared in the New York Times, and at the end of it she said, &#8216;I don&#8217;t want to kill myself, I want to see what happens.&#8217; And what a statement.
